What is the Unified Compliance Framework?
Most organizations find themselves dealing with at least two different audit and compliance frameworks from regulations, contracts, or organizational standards. Generally, there is at least a 70% overlap between security and IT frameworks at a control level. Cross-compliance mapping is valuable in aligning frameworks so that a single, comprehensive framework can be built and managed.
Why combine audit and compliance frameworks?
Cross-compliance mapping allows an organization to get a holistic view of all controls across all applicable frameworks. This allows the organization to realign and reduce controls for easier management and to achieve a higher degree of governance. It can also be used to further map levels of maturity for each control, including assessment lifecycle and inventory.
